Why is hydroelectric power considered to be an example of multiple transfers of energy?

Hydroelectric power is considered to be an example of multiple transfers of energy because potential energy when the water is in the reservoir turns into kinetic energy making the water move to the dam and then the dam moves into the turbine turning it to electric energy.

How much work is accomplished when a force of 250 N pushes a box across the floor for a distance of 50 meters?

IrinaK [193]

Work = force * distance
and newton*meters = Joule

In this case, work = 250N*50m = 12500 J

So the answer is D) 12,500 J

A rocket in deep space has an empty mass of 150 kg and exhausts the hot gases of burned fuel at 2500 m/s. It is loaded with 600

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

$v(10\,s) \approx 775.387\,\frac{m}{s}$

$v(20\,s)\approx 1905.350\,\frac{m}{s}$

$v(30\,s) \approx 4023.595\,\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

The speed of the rocket is given the Tsiolkovsky's differential equation, whose solution is:

$v (t) = v_{o} - v_{ex}\cdot \ln \frac{m}{m_{o}}$

Where:

$v_{o}$ - Initial speed of the rocket, in m/s.

$v_{ex}$ - Exhaust gas speed, in m/s.

$m_{o}$ - Initial total mass of the rocket, in kg.

$m$ - Current total mass of the rocket, in kg.

Let assume that fuel is burned linearly. So that,

$m(t) = m_{o} + r\cdot t$

The initial total mass of the rocket is:

$m_{o} = 750\,kg$

The fuel consumption rate is:

$r = -\frac{600\,kg}{30\,s}$

$r = -20\,\frac{kg}{s}$

The function for the current total mass of the rocket is:

$m(t) = 750\,kg - (20\,\frac{kg}{s} )\cdot t$

The speed function of the rocket is:

$v(t) = - 2500\,\frac{m}{s}\cdot \ln \frac{750\,kg -(20\,\frac{kg}{s} )\cdot t}{750\,kg}$

The speed of the rocket at given instants are:

$v(10\,s) \approx 775.387\,\frac{m}{s}$

$v(20\,s)\approx 1905.350\,\frac{m}{s}$

$v(30\,s) \approx 4023.595\,\frac{m}{s}$

If a force of 450N pushes a box 4 meters in 2 seconds, how much power was developed?

strojnjashka [21]

Work = (force) x (distance) = (450 N) x (4 m) = 1,800 joules

Power = (work) / (time) = (1,800 joules) / (2 sec) = 900 watts .
